Outdoor Benchtops Adelaide

When it comes to outdoor benchtops, durability is key, especially in a place like Adelaide, where the climate can be both scorching hot in summer and chilly in winter.

Choosing benchtops made from hearty materials is essential to ensure they can withstand the harsh Australian weather conditions year-round.

In the scorching summers, outdoor benchtops are exposed to intense heat and prolonged sun exposure. Materials like granite, marble, stone or stainless steel are excellent choices as they possess heat-resistant properties. They can handle high temperatures without warping or deteriorating, making them ideal for outdoor BBQ kitchens and alfresco areas. These materials also provide a cool surface for food preparation and cooking, ensuring comfort while grilling those mouth-watering steaks.

On the other hand, Adelaide experiences cool winters, sometimes with freezing temperatures. Outdoor benchtops need to endure these cold conditions without cracking or becoming brittle. Granite and marble are known for their strength and resilience, and are perfect for tackling the winter chill. They are less prone to expansion and contraction due to temperature fluctuations, maintaining their integrity over time. Stainless steel, another popular option, is not only resistant to heat but also performs well in cold weather.

Moreover, these hearty materials are also resistant to moisture, a crucial factor in Adelaide’s climate. They can withstand rain, humidity, and occasional water splashes without absorbing moisture or developing mold and mildew. This ensures that your outdoor benchtops remain hygienic and easy to clean, even in damp conditions.

Investing in robust outdoor benchtops not only guarantees longevity but also adds a touch of elegance to your outdoor living space. With a variety of colors, textures, and finishes available, you can choose a benchtop that complements your aesthetic preferences and creates a visually stunning area.

1. Granite: Granite is a popular choice for outdoor benchtops due to its durability and natural beauty. It is resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, making it ideal for outdoor cooking and food preparation. Granite comes in various colors and patterns, adding a touch of elegance to your outdoor kitchen.
2. Marble: Known for its luxurious appearance, marble is a timeless option for outdoor benchtops. It offers a sophisticated and elegant aesthetic while providing excellent heat resistance. However, it requires regular sealing and maintenance to protect it from staining and etching caused by acidic substances.
3. Stainless Steel: Stainless steel benchtops are highly durable, hygienic, and easy to clean. They are resistant to heat, corrosion, and moisture, making them suitable for outdoor environments. Stainless steel adds a modern and sleek look to outdoor kitchens and is often preferred in contemporary designs.
4. Concrete: Concrete benchtops have gained popularity in recent years for their versatility and industrial appeal. They can be customized in terms of shape, size, and color, allowing you to create a unique outdoor benchtop that matches your style. Concrete is sturdy, heat-resistant, and can withstand the elements effectively.
5. Quartz: Quartz benchtops offer the advantage of being non-porous, making them highly resistant to stains and bacteria growth. They are also scratch-resistant and require minimal maintenance. Quartz comes in a wide range of colors and patterns, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your outdoor kitchen design.

Benchtops play a crucial role in outdoor kitchens, outdoor BBQ kitchens, and alfresco spaces, providing a functional and practical surface for food preparation, cooking, and serving. These areas often serve as the focal point of outdoor entertaining and dining, making the benchtop a central feature. A well-designed and sturdy benchtop enhances the overall functionality of the space, allowing for effortless meal preparation and cooking. It offers a designated area where ingredients can be prepped, utensils can be stored, and dishes can be plated, ensuring a seamless cooking experience and efficient workflow.

Moreover, benchtops also contribute to the aesthetics and ambiance of the outdoor area. They serve as a design element, complementing the overall style and theme of the space. With a wide range of materials, colors, and finishes available, you can choose a benchtop that matches your personal taste and adds visual appeal to your outdoor kitchen or alfresco area. Whether you prefer the natural elegance of granite or the sleek modernity of stainless steel, a well-selected benchtop can elevate the look and feel of your outdoor space, creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for both family gatherings and social events.

After numerous visits to kitchen makers I ended up attending Alluring Kitchens at Henley Beach. I first met with Jasmine with my plans for a kitchen make over. I then spoke to Steve, the owner and decided to go with them for my kitchen. Jasmin was exceptional and professional and soon had my plans costed and ready to order. I met Steve the owner and Daniel one of his staff. The pricing was good and as I required the installation quickly and  I was assisted in every way and the makeover was installed in about 2 weeks. The installers were very professional and left the kitchen area totally clean upon completion. I would like to thank and recommend Steve, Jasmin and the staff at Alluring Kitchens for anyone looking for a new kitchen or makeover. The whole process was made easy from start to completion. I always like to support local businesses but anyone in the state looking for a kitchen please call Steve and his friendly and professional staff and you will be totally satisfied. A great team and business. SUPPORT THEM

Steve came up with the solution as to where my dishwasher could be installed & quickly measured up for the kitchen alterations & prepared the quote which I promptly accepted. Whilst waiting for the delivery of the dishwasher, Washington made all of the new cupboards & drawers & did a first class job.
Upon delivery of the dishwasher, Washington then came & installed all of the new cabinetry & positioned the dishwasher for connection. It was all done in less than a day.
The following morning, before 8am, the Electrician arrived & connected the dishwasher in about half an hour. Shortly after, the plumber arrived & did his connection in about the same amount of time.
Overall it was a seamless, very efficient process & I would highly recommend Alluring Kitchens for their expertise & professionalism.

What a fantastic experience from beginning to end!!! All we wanted was to remove our existing raised breakfast bar, laminate bench top to make way for our stone top and altering cupboards to fit our new stove. Big kitchen companies tried to convince us that it is better to put a whole new kitchen in than to do a modification (you do not throw out a beautiful cream 2pac kitchen).
One smaller company was prepared to do what we wanted but they said we would have to remove two cupboards that sat on our benchtop and then replace them again at a cost. On top of all of that, they said we would have to replace all the tiles as there probably be some damage occurring. Still not satisfied and after a google search, we found Steve on the internet. Steve took the time to listen to what we wanted and then came to see our kitchen at no call out fee. He re-assured us that they would take care in removing the bench tops without removing cupboards or damaging tiles. He said we would be without a kitchen for 2 weeks only and that is exactly what we got ( oh .. and not a single broken tile and didn't even remove the cupboards....amazing!)
Steve, we would love to thank you and your wonderful team of trades from the kitchen installers, to the stonemason. His craftmanship was beyond exceptional and the Caesarstone looks brilliant. They all took the utmost care when in our kitchen and cleaned up when finished. Cost wise, Steve came in as very cost effective.
Steve was wonderful to work with from the beginning to the end and delivered on what he promised at a very high standard. We would highly recommend Alluring Kitchens for a remodel as they listen , they care and they deliver! Thank you again.

October 2023: A year later and we got our bar area in our kitchen designed and installed by Alluring Kitchens. Again, it has been a pleasure to work with such a professional company. Congratulations to Steve and his fantastic team!

How to start and where to begin...
Firstly, I think Alluring Kitchens deserve a 10 stars out of 5. Yes, that's exactly how amazing they are. If you read the reviews carefully, you will know that everyone who actually worked or has been working with them gives 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It's a daunting task to renovate, especially with the kitchen and wet area. Steve and his team made everything so easy and doable.  At the same time, it is very practical and helpful.  The first time we contacted Steve, he is so friendly, kind, and accommodating. In comparing other people, we've been contacted (a dozen kitchen reno places), they either choose "bigger job" with bigger budget, or, "too busy" that not able to follow up with us.

Steve is genuinely interested in assisting us to achieve what we want.  For example, we came up with an idea to do a two-tone kitchen, Steve and his team are excited and helping us to finalise the concept into a product. Their "always achievable" attitude is so inspiring.  They are honest, trustworthy, positive, and professional. Along the whole process, from quotation, material selection, renovation, and after completion, Steve and his team are absolutely fantastic and responsible.

We have no word to describe how amazing and wonderful they are. Keep it short and simple, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.  we love our kitchen and laundry very much.

If you want a trouble-free renovation, we highly recommend Alluring Kitchens.

When we first starting looking at upgrading our kitchen the companies we first approached looked at replacing the kitchen on a like for like layout. We then contacted Alluring Kitchens were very impressed with Steve when he first visited our home as took his time and listened to what we thought and then he suggested a totally new redesign which would make the layout more workable and opened up the entire area.
To Steve, team and the contractors involved we would love to thank you. They all took the utmost care while working in our home and cleaned up every day before leaving. They were also very professional and approachable.
We are very happy with the final outcome.
